[@Llamathellegend]

Gonna have to agree with everyone here Pete, that white cat was practically begging to be a part of the picking family!

[@Brenda-qm4sy]

I know and sometimes our cat's pick us so I'm really bummed about that

[@3dogs3kids]

It makes me so sad to see all those unwanted kitties. I'm glad you rescued one. Thank you.

[@sublime90]

same here especially the cat thats 7. no ones gonna adopt him poor cat.

[@robrich1987]

Same.very heart tugging.i don't think I could pass up the terrified cat..but then again u wish them all have the best homes..

[@applekarma]

As someone who has had an animal rescue organization over 50 years, I always recommend taking the one who has the least chance of being adopted. You rejected the black and white kitty saying she looked too "old and thin." Most likely she will be rejected by everyone else on the same basis also. Every adopter wants the most beautiful, healthy, friendly cat of all. Those cats will easily get adopted. I wish you could have been that special person who looked beyond those qualities and have taken the one with the least chance of getting out of there. It takes a special person to understand this. Otherwise, great video and made me wonder why all shelters aren't videotaping their animals regularly and putting them on KZbin to give them a better chance??

[@denniswinspear7478]

I agree, the cat that loves you the most is the one that has endured life's hardship and appreciates being loved and accepted. You actually took the best looking cat, which was not the best choice. I'd rather see you rescue a cat that has more of a need for love. Did you actually rescue a cat? ....No, you took the easiest to adopt, and the other cats may now get destroyed.

[@JD-Defenders]

@Sandy Anderson TOTALLY AGREE! Very sad...I wish I could take them all, poor angels.

[@robs5579]

I would have chose that cat...the one that was all over them. Was nothing wrong with it. But Pete picked the cat he wanted I guess

[@pinadevos]

I also worked at a shelter for 10 years (in Holland) and the older friendly cats got adopted realy well. It where the shy cats and the fierce cats that had less chance because people want a cat ‘that picks them’. Well if a cat is scared or shy it will not pick you but it will need a home. Also the cats with health issues are harder to place cos they are a lot of work and/or expensive. sometimes.

[@debsday5445]

@Jamie Jump I took the shy older cat with one eye , nobody wanted him. Called him Captain Jack. Lost him last Christmas. He lived a long happy life with us and it was a privilege to be able to care for him , I miss him so much. That's his photo enjoying a cat nap on my bed. He was my third cat and never thought I would get another but saw a pair of big green eyes and rescued him , he's the same breed but a completely different personality and love him just as much as my other cats.

[@hillarys.k8518]

Nothing better than hearing a grown man talk baby talk to a cat .

[@dianewallace5627]

Kindhearted Pete.

[@geraldheitman7687]

I talk to my Radar all the time I am sure he understands too :-)

[@1970pizza]

I talk to my baby cat in a childish way as well and i can't help doing it lol

[@yeoh7939]

Thought that black and white cat had the job in the bag. She showed great effort, she was friendly, and just seemed like a good natured loving cat. I was rooting for her 😢

[@sqwirlmasta]

Going to need you to go back and get the first kitty that was following you around. That way they can have a friend to play with!

[@NicholasAarons]

I So Agree...!!!! N🧔🏽.

[@mozu517]

I would have loved that one myself...

[@cooldudicus7668]

This is why KZbin is so toxic. People assume that they have power over others that they do not have.

[@sqwirlmasta]

@@cooldudicus7668 What are you talking about man?

[@benrichards6087]

Honey plays with ruby now, but ya that cat from the 2nd shelter was screaming "take me" ...not sure how honey got selected

[@cindypittman8776]

That sweet kitty, at the second to last shelter, she chose you...and you broke her little kitty heart because you didn’t take her. You need to go back there and take her too... She loved you guys and was so so sweet. She would be a good greeter for all the customers coming into the shop. Please go back and get her too. Kitties don’t love just anyone and they choose who they know will love them and take care of them. She saw something in you...please don’t let her sit in the shelter dreaming of what could have been a good and loving life. Go and get her too.

[@HandbagDiva]

Cindy Pittman she was 17, he doesn’t want his heart broke again if she passes away soon. I understand. I had two rescued dogs, the first I got when he was 6, the second was 10 & they were both around the same age when I got the second. I knew having two senior dogs around the same age might be hard as they got older but I didn’t think I’d lose them 6 months apart. It was so sad, and in between my 16 year old cat died too.

[@melissal8445]

We have a stray in my neighborhood that followed me around...turns out it follows everyone and if you pet it for more than 5 minutes straight it attacks. So I don’t know that following means they were “chosen”, it could follow everyone (dangerous in a shop where it could follow someone out the door to the street) and it might not be so sweet in the long run. They got the cat they wanted.

[@tmiller8343]

So true! My cat is 12 years old. She came to us when she was about 6 months old, literally ran into our house on a cold January night. We put her back out side and she came back the next day and was very persistent. We let her in and the rest is history. She chose us and has been with us ever since. 🩵

[@Julia-Julia9093]

Oh I felt so bad for the first kitty that followed you everywhere! But Honey looks sweet and will be loved for sure!

[@debbiecaudill9669]

you picked a good cat. My heart is breaking for the black and white one that wad trying so hard to get adopted. I wish I lived closer. I would adopt the black and white one.

[@FlippinCrazy]

I'm so glad you rescued, Honey looks sweet. If you notice, the ones at the second place are calmer because of obvious difference in atmosphere. That long hair black and white cat had a great friendly personality and she did so good trying to convince you to take her, looks like she picked you, makes me very sad you didn't get her. She looked so optimistic. Good luck with your new fur baby Pete!

[@patriciastalb2334]

Please go back and get that friendly old gray and white cat at the second place, too!

[@vintagedazzle]

I think you should adopt the fluffy white and gray one too. She was soooo sweet. But Honey is a good choice.

[@ginaseverson82]

Don't worry everyone that cat that was following him around at the second place will find a wonderful home too. You can tell she has a great personality and will find the right person for herself. Maybe she needs a little time to regain her health first. I think he made a good choice. Get ready to be loved by many Honey.

[@Sandra___P]

Congrats! I think you should have 2. Got back to the 2nd place and get the cutie that was following you all over. So happy for you all!

[@ambrlie06]

Oh, I would not have made it out of the first shelter without that little black and white one. She picked you. But I’m happy you found one who is getting a good home.

[@GamerTreasures]

I think all of us will always miss Milo and will never forget him. However, I'm so Happy for you and everyone at the shop that you were finally able to get another kitty. I know that Honey will be a great cat to add to the family and to the trading post. I wish Honey the best of health and hope that everyone can share their love and affection with her down at The Trading Post! Congratulations!

[@margom.5632]

Honey is so adorable 🥰 ❤️

[@Jayf1981]

you need two Pete, it's a big shop!

[@davestarr7112]

The number of thumbs down votes on this really amazed me. Have a heart guys and gals, the cats are cute, unwanted and in need of rescue, and we've all been missing Milo so much. Two thumbs up from me.

[@curmudgeoncapitalist]

PETE MADE A CAT VIDEO!!! Now I have seen it all! It shows just how good a man he is

[@joansommerfield8419]

Am so excited and pleased for you. My vote was for the sweet long haired kitty at the second shelter that kept following you around. But you could have two 😋 This is the happiest video from you since my tears for Milo. Bless you for giving a home to a sweet kitty that needs one. Can’t wait for your next post.

[@MaryWehmeier]

More than one might actually tag team those mice. I loved the black and white one.

[@michellewright99]

Awe! Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed seeing the process and all the different kitties. Congratulations!

[@junkman8742]

If you don't take that sweet black and white female I'm going to be mad by the end of this video!.. Nooooooooo!

[@MaryWehmeier]

I'm with you Junk Man!

[@yardsalesteals3003]

it will be adopted fast though. the quiet shy cats are the ones who don't. and they are usually quiet and shy just because they hate being in a cage.

[@dianepropson2508]

He needs to go back and get that one, also. The store is big enough for both of them. And I think Pete's heart is big enough to go out to both of them.

[@FlippinCrazy]

I was upset too, she tried so hard! He should have 2 so they could keep each other company

[@wuzoutabout2821]

It makes sense, even though that cat was so loving, it could get in the way as it seems to love attention. Plus I'm sure he will be adopted soon due to it's personally.

[@dianewallace5627]

That fluffy one wants to be a youtube star! She is auditioning HARD! But Honey seems to be healthier and she looks very similar to the first fluffy one. So happy that you all found a new companion for the Trading Post. Milo is looking down with love.

[@kyrad6543]

So many kitties that need good homes. While you can't adopt them all, maybe your video will inspire some viewers to go out and adopt. Congratulations on your new honey!

[@Tracy-shantishanti]

Shelter animals! ❤️❤️❤️ I'm so happy you've found a new kitty, Milo would approve, I'm sure! :)

[@laksitamochtar]

The female kitty at first place is sweet, she's first candidate for home cat, she need her hooman all the time. Pete need kitty who can play alone, friendly but not too demanding. Honey is perfect💓

[@bianca5642]

Awww congratulations Pete! Your new kitty is very beautiful and cute. I hope she brings a lot of joy to all of you. First I thought you would choose the beautiful kitty that followed you around the whole time. She had such a sweet behavior and a super cute face. Somehow I wish you could take them both. They would fit perfectly together. I'm very happy for you and can't wait to see Honey and Ruby meet the first time. Thank you for taking us with you on your search, I really enjoyed it :)

[@wendyerwin3413]

Congratulations! Thanks for giving a shelter cat a new start. I volunteer at a shelter and it's so easy to fall in love with them all and difficult to see so many great pets waiting for their forever families. You've got room for at least 1 more. ;)

[@susanfontaine5214]

Great choice! CONGRATULATIONS 🎊🍾🎈 ON NEW 🐱 KITTY! So glad you adopted from a shelter. So many unwanted animals in shelters. Milo would approve for sure.

[@texastommy8933]

Pete is happy and so is Honey. It won't be long until she is lounging on top of the glass counter. As friendly as the fuzzy cat is, she won't have a problem being adopted.

[@lansing66]

You are my kind of people with compassion for animals. I subscribed to your channel while home with covid, and now I watch everyday!

[@natpop4910]

Go back and get the black and white cat so Honey can have a friend!! 😀

[@jeannejett2299]

Thanks for adopting a shelter kitty Pete. She's a beauty & sure seems to be very affectionate. Congratulations on your new addition to the shop & to your heart as well. Milo would approve 💖

[@Tonyblack261]

So many beautiful babies to choose from. Honey was determined to adopt you, Peter!

[@timvanderkolk1388]

Awesome stuff Pete! Animal House Shelter and Helping Paws are both great places. I'm glad you found a new kitty.

[@robbylake3784]

That's awesome! I like how you guys take the time and show what they have to offer. As always thanks Pete!

[@stonycreekpicker1385]

You remind me of me Pete. When my last 2 dogs passed some years back I said " never again". Within 3 months I had 2 more. We're pet lovers, we can't help it.

[@KPTrainham]

Who's the monster that thumbs downed this video?! How can you not like this?? 😠😂

[@FlippinCrazy]

There are 6 now, prob all cat haters

[@Starrynightdiner]

8 now. I feel sorry for people with so little joy in their heart they just have to put thumbs down on videos to get attention. Pitiful.

[@ResaleRabbit]

Dog people smh

[@searae727]

Because he didn't rescue the kitty that wanted to go home with him.

[@ireneburke1732]

Thank you for getting a rescue. They were all so cute, it would have been a hard decision for me. I was always told you don't choose the cat, the cat chooses you.

[@brendawalker5644]

Honey is a beautiful cat and so glad you gave her a wonderful home I have 2 sweet girls myself ( Macy and Gracy) My baby girls! Love your show!

[@karenhenderson3889]

Congratulations Pete! Hard choice, especially when one of them picked you 😊 so firmly. Honey will be a great addition for your family.

[@uwsupergirl]

It felt a bit stressful seeing all the kitties who need homes and sad too, but glad you found a rescue who will work for the shop! Hope that the transition is a smooth one. and congratulations!

[@ladalekoehler2176]

The little black and white one that flowed you around so much looked so sad when it looked like you were going. Honey was pretty and I’m glad for you but go back and get the friendly one.

[@Patricia.R.]

Congratulations on the new kitty....Honey is going to a good home. She has big shoes to fill!

[@tamararaia6146]

In a shelter situation, you don't pick them, they pick you.

[@larrysantacrose]

So glad you're giving the kitty a home, with lot's of room to roam around.

[@texaslex]

Smiles all around. Nice to see the excitement. Pete is such a great guy.

[@cathymorrison8537]

What a great video. It’s so much fun to see a kitty at your shop. You’ve got a big heart. Love your videos!

[@opichocal]

I’m not a cat person but I love seeing them have the whole room with lots of bedding and toys. My dogs are the best therapy and make me smile everyday

[@TheSeedsower107]

Wow Pete , you had a hard choice to make there my friend. So many great cats . I had to laugh watching you . Your just like a little kid again . Animals are so wonderful and all so much to our lives. Congratulations on your new friend. I'm sure the whole team will love her . Cheers !

[@alann5975]

Love that you’re so excited about your new Honey.

[@02rangerdanger]

Congratulations on your new kitty 🐾 Honey. She is beautiful and I loved your excitement in adopting her 🤗

[@AdamsExploits]

Congratulations Pete. It’s great to meet Honey.

[@lisamarsha7521]

Such happiness! So wonderful you shared your journey. I bet adoptions go up in those shelters and others !

[@Stokjockey]

MILO is Smiling Down From Heaven Pete You did Good !!

[@gia9551]

I am crying way harder than I should for that sweetheart in the second shelter. Someone commented that she is 17 and my heart is breaking for her. I hope to God that she’s gotten a home.

[@gia9551]

Now I’m even sadder.. she’s almost 19 now and still hasn’t been adopted. I’m in Canada and would 100% go and get her if I could cross the border. At least I have the information now for where she is, if this corona ever fucking ends I will literally drive and get her if they think she can handle the trip back. It’s a way shorter flight but I would do the drive for her. She is so so so sweet.

[@BrioaZ]

Is that cat still there?

[@BrioaZ]

Are you sure the cat is still there? 17 is pretty old the cat could have passed sadly😔

[@DallasFamily2010]

Honey won the jackpot! Congratulations!

[@janicebird610]

Congratulations! I'm so glad there's going to be another shop kitty. Please go get the black and white one too!

[@Abbie-UK]

Awww so glad you found Honey , shes going to fit in so well xx

[@tuxpowerpc]

Congratulations Pete, I'm happy for you!

[@ericwazner6521]

I’m happy for you guys Pete! Great new addition to the family! Welcome Honey!🐱

[@blazelled]

GREAT kitty sourcing video! I was gunning for the scraggly long-haired one at the second place which followed you around but I think you made the right choice. Small females make the best mousers I've been told.

[@ritamilford3129]

I can just imagine you when you get grandchildren. That was delightful and any of those beautiful creatures deserve a good home.

[@crazydaisy5809]

Love your new kitten but the one that was all over you in the first place, I felt you would have taken her , she was super friendly , I'm hoping you might get a friend for honey ☺☺

[@netticharles1938]

So happy for you guys, glad you wen to a shelter. Can't wait to see the pick up

[@melwester]

I would have taken one from each shelter. What a honey Honey is. ❤❤❤❤

[@bumblebee8158]

So glad another shelter pet has a home! 🐈

[@vickiolson1198]

That dark grey and white one in the shelter before the last one you went to was trying so hard to get adopted...my heart went out to her. !!!

[@lolitabonita08]

congratulations new papa... So wonderful that you decided to adopt from a shelter....ignorant people still buying dogs when they are thousands of dogs and cats that need homes...in exchange of giving you forever love...poop and pee too...

[@robeps6034]

Congrats Peter and crew......Beautiful kitty.....

[@ualemp902]

I love seeing all the cats, I wish I could take them all home.

[@lyzahgarzetty1778]

I think the black and white is the best option.

[@richardnokes6438]

That look of hers at end when she realized she wasn't going home... She got depressed 😢

[@sherilyn865]

Thank you for choosing a rescue and an older cat! Congratulations!

[@tmiller8343]

The one he chose is not an older cat, she was 10 months old when he adopted her.

[@terrihomer1790]

Pete , Great person to adopt , I am so happy for you .Hi Honey ! Welcome to the world of reselling.

[@CatherineLTully]

Congrats on your new kitty Pete!

[@Starrynightdiner]

It’s a happy day. Congrats Pete! 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱

[@varietymailers3131]

Congrats Pete! We got our puppy from Animal House last year and named her .... Honey. Wishing you, Vicky and Honey many happy years together.

[@EgoShredder]

How on earth could you decide between all these beautiful adorable bundles of joy!

[@bocabral1433]

Thanks for sharing. Glad you found one of your picking the younger the cat the longer it will live enjoy the tour through the different shelters glad to see you resorted to a shelter they really need a home just please try and feed the cat as healthy as possible with all natural cat food organic freeze-dried cat food is the best for their diet yes it may be a little more expensive but isn't it worth it these animals are our love just like our children so they deserve the best as well for every percentage of love you give them they will return 10 to a hundred times more thanks again enjoyed, Bo

[@ladalekoehler2176]

I can’t go to shelters because I want to get all the animals.

[@halimatalib04]

That's the point! Get one

[@watchcityknives]

Congratulations 🎈🎊🍾 Pete You and your friends/employees absolutely deserve another kitty 🐱 cat 🐈 RIP MILO he will be at rest but never ever forgotten it’s great to see your eyes light up when you mentioned getting a new cat Thank You for all the best KZbin videos GOD BLESS Pete # RIPMILO #GONEBUTNOTFORGOTTEN

[@anitablumhardt75]

Congrats! It's so hard to choose! You want to give all of them a forever home!

[@paragian1]

Your store is so big. Maybe a second cat would work... like the super friendly black and white one. They could keep each other company when store is closed too

[@callisto8232]

Awesome - God bless both of you for adopting Honey

[@jrjulesrules1]

Warms my heart to see how much you love the Cats.. They are so sweet and just need homes so they can be loved and happy.. You are such a kind person and a great Cat dad.. Honey is amazing and I am so happy for her and for you...

[@spotsandme1968]

I love Honey! She's a sweetie!

[@wendyodell356]

You have a beautiful soul Pete 🤗 God bless you all and that gorgeous long haired calico ❤ XOXO

[@jimmckay2337]

Honey played Peter like a fiddle. LoL

[@HouseLightProduction]

Awesome pick Pete, welcome to the channel Honey!

[@AdventureJenny]

Aww!! Sooo happy for you!! This was such a fun video and you were adorable Pete! Your smile and excitement was palpable! Can't wait to see you bring Honey home!

[@terryo1463]

I love that one cat that is following you!

[@robsdeviceunknown]

I have 5 cats. And if God wills it I will have more. If they show up. I am a little bit out in the country so I also feed a few feral ones outside. One thing I can say for sure is. You can NEVER EVER have too many. As long as you can afford to care for them vet bills etc. Get 2 or 3 for your shop, as long as customers don't complain and they have the persona to deal with folks. This is the reason I never go to shelters, I don't even go to petco where they have all the pets on a cage. It hurts me

[@robsdeviceunknown]

Also sorry, I couldn't watch whole video. As a former Cop I have dealt with the worst of the human condition and never batted a eye. But a distressed cat will break me down every time.

[@williamlong4997]

Thanks Pete. Needed a warm fuzzy today. Really enjoyed it. looking forward to seeing Honey in your vids laying on the counter.

[@fredandmikethedogs7992]

I’ve. It even watched this yet and have the biggest smile in the world now! God Bless!

[@AlpacaMade]

I have to admit I was distracted by the barking dogs for obvious reasons. I'll be visiting the shelter someday soon. I'm glad you are happy with Honey although I did think you were going to tell us you went back for the long hair. Cheers!

[@wastenotwantnot6754]

CONGRATULATIONS! She's a beauty.

[@pim1234]

I have learned that cats choose you, so I would take the one that comes to you the whole time...

[@applekarma]

Thank you for the update! I wish you would have stated this in your video as I think many people got the wrong impression. Very relieved to know you took a "special needs" cat after all know. We all know the perfect ones will almost always get adopted. Thank youl again for the great video!
